Spatial variability quantification of maize water consumption based on Google EEflux tool

The evapotranspiration (ET) and crop coefficient (Kc) spatial variabilities are disregarded in traditional methods of evapotranspiration estimation based on lysimeters. With the development of remote sensing techniques, the estimative of ET on agricultural areas, in a specialized way, has become possible through the use of algorithms based on the surface energy balance such as the METRIC and its automated version, featured on the Google Earth...
